Impact analysis
It could change local criminal justice costs by reducing or preserving low-level pot prosecutions, but there’s no dollar estimate yet.
People facing low-level marijuana charges and advocates for reduced enforcement could benefit if the ordinance limits prosecutions.
No groups are clearly harmed yet—it depends on what Paxton says and how Hays County enforces it.
